Alvarez-Gaethje was perhaps the most anticipated matchup on the
entire bill. The two lightweights did not disappoint, trading
liberally throughout the contest. While Gaethje found the mark on
many of his trademark leg kicks, Alvarez attacked the ex-World
Series of Fighting Champion with body blows repeatedly. That work
took its toll, and Alvarez capitalized with a knee and follow-up
punches for a thrilling victory 3:59 into the third round.

Meanwhile, Medeiros and Oliveira set the stage nicely in a
preliminary welterweight scrap. Oliveira had Medeiros reeling with
a pair of knockdowns in the opening stanza, but the Hawaiian
survived the onslaught. Medeiros took control in the second frame
and finished the contest in the third, putting the Brazilian away
with a stream of punches and elbows at the 2:02 mark. Medeiros and
Oliveira combined for four knockdowns in the fight.
